Lol I have this image of a pair of boots shooting past an epic mount like it was standing still. Unfortunately the wearer of the boots seems to be....missing....hmmm.....i think i'll pass =0

Comment by Grizlor

This recipe dropped from mekgineer in Steamvault tonight. Kinda sucks that the boots are leather and being a warlock I can't use em :/ The boots themselves are BoE though, whereas the pattern is bind on pickup ala Molten Core recipes.

Comment by Thirdstrike

they only drop from mekgineer in steamvaults?

Comment by Vann

Are these faster than regular rocket boots?

Comment by Hallian

These boots have a 5 minute cooldown. They make your run for about 3 seconds at 300% speed, you can steer while you're being launched. After 3 seconds you will come to an emmidiate stop with knockdown, kinda like the old Unstobbable Force proc.

As for the practical minds among us, this will get you across 1/3rd of the Warsong Gulch field, I cannot confirm if you hold the flag on knockdown, but you should.

yea i got those last night i was sooo happy consediring the drop rate i might be the only one on my server (deathwing) to have the plan

Comment by LucidTaint

I was wondering if, like most of the other BC BoP recipes, this can only be seen by Engineers? Because, if so, then that may mean that the drop rate percentage is messed up (since it's based on a ratio of kills to how many times the item has been seen).

And, in that case, I'm curious if it might be a much higher drop rate.

Comment by Bronze2

Can you use these at arena?

Comment by dirtylaundry

After the 2.1 patch these boots will have a different animation, instead of a knock down effect you'll get blown upwards in mid air while spinning and take 200ish damage. This damage is a big buff since it break's CC if you time it right as you eat a trap/sheep/ etc.

Comment by colontoga

Just so people don't freak out about the drop chance, this is one of the "oversights" made by a mod (and an unavoidable one at that.) These drops are only seen when there is a high level engineer in the group. And, engineers aren't horribly common. So, expect this to be more around the 20%+ range.

What skill do u need to get this schematic? Would like to know becuse i have done SV alot of times and it has never been droped. Is it because of my skillin engineering or is it badluck?

Comment by Dedde

I will need a skill in engineering to see this schematic drop, right? so i was wondering what skill I need to see at all. Wasn't wondering if skill will give me more drop rate.

Comment by Mugungo

If you combine this item with the parachute cloak, you will remain moving at 300% speed while in the air. It can be very useful in wsg as you can zoom across the entire field nearly instantly, but beware when using this, there have been a few cases where people have been banned for "hacking" as the auto ban thing in wow reads you moving at 300% speed without a mount for more than X seconds.

Comment by aluxendr

do these and the run speed buff pickup in WSG stack?

Comment by Fallenl0rd

after 2.4 patch you will drop the flag in bg when you use the boots its in the patch notes

Comment by caneerk

dont believe these drop rates at these profession recipes..because they log all people's statistics and drop rate always seems low like that %0.2actually their drop rates like %25i had this recipe on my 2nd kill

I can attest to this, as I have run more than 15 Normal SV runs, and being a 375 Engineer I have yet to see these drop. Oh sure, everyone can have different actual streaks of good or bad luck . . but I'm inclined to believe Blizzard when they list different drop rates for an item based on dungeon difficulty.

Comment by Halbarad

Did my first SV (Normal) run since I got Engineering

Dropped for me (ofc as people said its luck if you get it or not)

Comment by Kommommer

I hate Blizzard removing them from arena.. A tailorer may use his spellpower fire set also, and a blacksmith may use his crafted wep also. Where's the profession for if it gets limited after a patch...

Comment by AudreyChandler

Dropped for me on Normal mode after 5 kills (I resorted to farming Normal because he didn't drop them on Heroic /angry). I'm not sure whether that makes me lucky, or indicates that drop rates aren't too bad in Normal, but there you go.

Incidentally, for any Hunters reading this, he is a very, very easy solo farm at 80. The packs in SV are spread out sufficiently that you can Cheetah past almost of them, and have plenty of room to rush in + Disengage + Feign the stubborn spots. The large pack guarding the bridge before the slave area can be avoided entirely just by walking behind the rightmost Warrior. You can also dodge all the Slavehandler fights by keeping a moderate distance. Round up all the Lepers at once with your pet, MD + Volley, burn down Streamrigger, then rinse and repeat.

And of course, don't forget the Gas Cloud that's always floating around him for free motes. ;]

Comment by Iknewkungfu

Does anyone know if the speed buff from this can stack with the belt tinker for an insane speed burst?My guess is that it will not stack, but rather the most powerfull one will win (like the mount+speed buff in AB)If it were to stack, however, this would be a powerfull addition in WSG with or without flag (tunnel speed boost + belt tinker + boots)

Comment by Chuggowitz

Can anyone confirm as to whether or not these still cause you to drop the flag in a battleground?

Comment by twilightsamus

I was passing through this instance to farm Enchant Bracer - Fortitude from Oracles, and after receiving it from the second one I killed in Heroic mode, I decided to visit this boss. This pattern was one of the items he happened to drop, so it's possible the drop chance has increased. Happy hunting.

Comment by xmanii

Still drops, took only one attempt on heroic mode.

Comment by Ulgeron

Confirm as of MOP this pattern will drop for ENGs. Took me 3 runs on normal. On a side note for rep farmers. This place is fantastic for leveling rep, bring a tabard.
